HENDERSON'S CROP SPECIAL— GRASS SEEDS 



The fall season is especially favorable to the growth of young grass, for at 

 that season the seeds have the benefit of thoroughly warmed ground and a copious 

 rainfall, which hastens germination and enables the grass to become firmly 

 established before winter sets in. Then, on the opening of spring, the grass 

 immediately recommences its growth and taking full possession of the ground, 

 prevents weeds from obtaining a foothold. 



Henderson's SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURE for 



Hay and Permanent Pasture 



We also offer 



This famous mixture has seeded thousands of acres of meadow and 

 pasture land for progressive farmers and stock raisers in various parts 

 of the United States, with most gratifying results. It produces 

 wonderful Hay crops and luxuriant pasture, maintaining its cropping 

 qualities twenty years or more. It is a well-balanced conbination 

 of a number of native and acclimated foreign Grasses and Clovers, 

 blended and improved upon during exhaustive trials under widely 

 varied conditions, soils and localities for several years, until 

 practically perfect, our aim being to produce, under the extremes 

 of the American climate of heat, drought and cold, a Permanent 

 dense and deep-rooting turf that would yield year after year the 

 maximum quantity of foliage. These Grasses are of superior 

 quality, inviting, sweet and nourishing, whether used as hay or pas- 

 ture. That we have been successful is attested by the numerous 

 letters of praise for these special Grass mixtures that we have received 

 from the users, and the tributes to their merits published in many 

 of the agricultural journals. Some of these encomiums are printed 

 in Henderson's Farmers Manual (sent free on application). 



In preparing these mixtures the greatest care is exercised in selecting 

 such varieties as are suited to the soil to be sown and are likely to 

 realize the object in view. Therefore a description of the soil and 

 climate, and the purpose for which sown, and if with or without a 

 grain crop, should accompany each order. Sow 40 lbs. per acre.

 the farmer whose land is sown with a proper mixture of Permanent 

 Grasses, requiring only an occasional top-dressing of manure or ferti- 

 lizer to maintain their heavy cropping qualities avoids the expense of 

 the yearly plowing and cultivating, necessary in rotation cropping.

 Price (purchaser paying carriage), 35c. per lb.; 10 lbs. $3.25; 

 100 lbs. $30.00. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



REGARDING CLOVERS 



Do not omit to sow Clovers with the Grasses, as they add to the 

 yield of hay and pasture, and by their ability to collect atmospheric 

 nitrogen and store it in the root nodules, assist the growth of the Grasses 

 and are of considerable benefit to subsequent crops. 



Mixed Permanent Clovers, on account of their greater weight, should 

 be sown separately, but at the same time as the Grasses. This Mixed 

 Clover comprises White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, etc. 

 Sow 10 lbs. per acre. Price, 70c. per lb.; 10 lbs., $6.75; 100 lbs., $65.00.
